Re: Why so much hate for Dorbz?
I don't know that it's hate.. as much as interest level. Pop has been a juggernaut for a long time and some people don't have a taste for the dorbz line or any other line Funko puts out. That doesn't mean they're not awesome, just means they don't appeal to everyone! Wobbler collectors probably didn't like the idea of Pop when it first came out, and look at them now!

First Pop! - TMNT GITD 4-pack
First Dorbz - NYCC TMNT Dorbz
Most Recent - Toy Story 4 Dorbz set, D23 Steamboat Willie 9"

That is true. For me I prefer some of the dorbz to their Pop counterparts..but its mostly because they are so dang cute!

Re: Why so much hate for Dorbz?
I just think not a lot of people have a preference of Dorbz over Pops. I'm pretty mixed with them as well. Although i don't have a lot of Dorbz in my collection, i can't help but smile when i see them with how cute they are!
Space wise, they are definitely better to have since they barely take u any compared to regular pops

Re: Why so much hate for Dorbz?
I know a lot of people bag on dorbz, and there are a few that I dont think translated to well to the style but I love them, they are so cute. I love the roundness, it makes everything the vinyl version of a fat lil puppy. I hope the style is in it for the long run, at least until they make a few more of my favorite characters. They just need to make a chrome batman 3 pack and the masses will flock.

Re: Why so much hate for Dorbz?
They aren’t pops is the simple answer. Too many people have too much time, money and space invested in Pops to consider another line. However that doesn’t justify the complete poisoning of social media because you aren’t happy your personal favorite collectible wasn’t for sale today. I just collect what I like and try to avoid social media.

Re: Why so much hate for Dorbz?
I don’t hate them, they’re just about better than Pops to me. I definitely have over 100 now. I guess everyone likes what they like but as said above they’re not Pops.
The better question is where are more Dorbz XL?

Re: Why so much hate for Dorbz?
Completely unjustified imo. Some people (who are thankfully not on here) love to reject anything Funko makes if it isn’t a pop, which is very annoying.

Re: Why so much hate for Dorbz?
I think it’s just that they’re also not as pushed or made of as much as the pop line. I love all my Dorbz and they’re some of the ones I have out in my room since they take up less space but some characters just aren’t meant to be cute like Dorbz, as my Funko co worker says. I think they’ll grow on some people and others will continue to not like it as much. It’s just personal preference IMO.

Re: Why so much hate for Dorbz?
I think the over the top cuteness factor is a turn off to some..also that it's hard enough to collect pops.
Me..I LOVE dorbz..they are a perfect counter to the creepiness of pops. The smiles and just fun look to them is great. Once I got one i cant stop now..but I'm kinda like that with all things funko they just do amazing work

I think the Dorbz are adorable. I only have a handful of them simply because I lack the room to seriously start collecting. Just need to get my act together and organize my room, I can make it happen.

Re: Why so much hate for Dorbz?
Dorbz are better than Pops conceptually. I have more Dorbz of different characters than I do of Pops. (I collect only Batgirl Pops, though I also got the two Speedy Pops since there probably won't be anymore Speedy products due to her leaving Arrow.)
Pops are supposed to not have mouths, yet some characters are essentially defined by their mouths. That results in Funko having to deviate from the "no mouths" style standard. The smaller/thinner bodies that they started using for female and children characters are susceptible to leaning and warping. Dorbz aren't likely to lean or warp.
I do wish that QC was better (especially with regards to the arms and glue slop), though better QC is something that's desirable for all Funko products.

Re: Why so much hate for Dorbz?
I got into Dorbz right away. I couldn't help but love how cute and adorable they are. Easy to carry around too for pictures since I try to always have something with me. It also allowed me to extend my collection. I didn't get many Marvel pops because they are bobble heads and I'm always afaird to messing them up or popping their heads off. With dorbz I don't have those same worries. Also, going back to pictures, they have a flat bottom so they don't have to worry about them falling over when trying to get that perfect shot.
I also converted a few people who NEVER thought they'd get into dorbz.....they are like a small victory for me

I think most Dorbz are adorable and then there are ones that I go, uh NO! Simply because maybe it didn't translate well in my opinion.
I do have Dorbz in my collection and will continue to add them to it.

Re: Why so much hate for Dorbz?
I don't hate dorbz, I have about 50 of them. The problem with me is I'm running out of space with the 10", 9" and regular pops So not much room to start collecting other lines. I think most of the people that hate dorbz on social media is because they can't flip them like a pop.

Re: Why so much hate for Dorbz?
Because the Internet is full of trolls. People hate on EVERYTHING no matter what it is. Then you have mob mentality and people just follow the leader and continue to lay the hate on. I saw one of the big IG Funko news accounts post a meme yesterday so of course people talked a ton of smack in the comment section. Now if the Dorbz was a LE 1,000 cereal ad icon then people would be praising the Dorbz and saying how much they adore Dorbz and wish there were more.

Re: Why so much hate for Dorbz?
For me, I wouldn't say that I hate them, its just not my thing. (Now every once in a while I will go for one) My biggest complaint about dorbz (and this is my OCD kicking in) is that the boxes are just slightly smaller than the regular pops and I cannot stack them with my pops because of the different with and length.
Small thing, I know. But maybe that's just me.

Honestly, Dorbz are not that bad at all. i have the Futurama set and will be getting the RaM set. Bought the wifey Winnie the Pooh set recently. The Dorbz ride are awesome too. I think the kills it for people is the prices. Couple $$$ more and you can get the pop version.

Re: Why so much hate for Dorbz?
I love Dorbz! I have a ton in my collection and do not expect to stop collecting any time soon.
I think most of the hate comes when a Dorbz is revealed as a Funko Shop item instead of a POP. POP is clearly more popular, but the shop has to change it up every once in a while

Yeah, I think this about sums it up. Generally there isn't that much hate for Dorbz (though most really do prefer Pops over Dorbz), but the general reaction was just amplified yesterday since everyone was expecting the Stonekeeper Pop to be up on Funko Shop. Only to be greeted by Iron Spider in Dorbz form (which actually looks pretty good imo!)

I was hoping for Stonekeeper as well, but the Iron Spider Dorbz does looks amazing. I was happy with the drop and placed an order right way

I feel like people treat Dorbz like the little brother to Pop, and so it gets picked on a lot. People should relax and collect what they like instead of bashing on what other people like.
